How to Use Drizoro MAXPLUG to Stop Active Leaks – Video Summary
This video shows Drizoro MAXPLUG rapid-setting water stop mortar stopping an active leak in a concrete block wall. MAXPLUG is a single-component cementitious mortar that stops running water in 60-90 seconds, even under hydrostatic pressure.
Key steps from the video:
1. Prepare: Open the leak to 20mm wide x 20mm deep. Wear gloves — MAXPLUG is exothermic and heats up.
2. Mix: Mix 1kg MAXPLUG with ∼0.22 litres of water (about 3 parts powder to 1 part water) for 30 seconds. Mix only what you can use in 1 minute. Do not mix with drill — hand mix.
3. Apply: Form a dry plug with your gloved hand and press FIRMLY into the leak. Hold pressure for 90 seconds. Do NOT smooth or overwork it.
4. Finish: After 15 minutes, cut back any excess. For permanent waterproofing, coat over MAXPLUG with 2 coats of MAXSEAL FLEX M or MAXSEAL FOUNDATION within 24 hours.
5. Coverage: 1.5kg of MAXPLUG fills approx 1 litre of void. A 5kg tin stops 3-4 typical active leaks.
When to use MAXPLUG vs MAXREST:
Use MAXPLUG where water is actively running. Use MAXREST where surface is damp but not running. For flexing cracks in tanks, use MAXPLUG then MAXJOINT ELASTIC. EXPRESS

MAXPLUG
Quick-setting hydraulic mortar that stops leaks under pressure
A rapid-setting cement-based repair mortar for stopping running water
through cracks, holes and openings in concrete, masonry and other sound
substrates.
MAXPLUG is a quick-setting cement-based mortar that instantly stops
running water from cracks, holes and other openings in concrete,
masonry and sound substrates.
It is supplied as a grey powder and requires only water for mixing.
MAXPLUG begins hardening within a few seconds and normally sets within
three to five minutes, depending on temperature and conditions.
Its mechanical properties are comparable to concrete and, in some
cases, may be superior. The product is designed to set under water
and does not contain chlorides.
Advantages
Stops water under pressure quickly.
Does not shrink after application.
Slightly increases in volume as it sets.
Can be applied with a trowel, spatula or by hand.
Setting time can be influenced with warm or cold water.
Useful for domestic, commercial and industrial maintenance.
Applications
Concrete and masonry leaks
Seal active leaks in concrete surfaces, solid masonry and other sound
substrates.
Emergency pipe repairs
Suitable for emergency repairs to broken water pipes, including
situations where water remains under pressure.
Basements and tunnels
Stop water penetration in basements, tunnels, sewers, lift shafts,
pools and water-retaining structures.
Slab-to-wall connections
Form waterproof coves at floor and wall junctions and cold concrete
joints.
Anchoring
Anchor bolts, metal fixtures and other accessories requiring rapid
use.
Emergency plugging
Can be used for emergency plugging of gas leaks. Follow all relevant
safety procedures and seek professional assistance.
How to use MAXPLUG
1 Prepare the surface
Remove all loose material. Cracks should generally have a minimum
depth of approximately 40 mm and an opening of 30–40 mm. Cut the
opening into a square or preferably dovetail shape. Avoid a V-shaped
cut. Wet the surface if there is no active water present.
2 Mix a small quantity
Mix only the amount that can be applied within approximately three
minutes. For an active leak, mix only the quantity that can be held
and applied by hand.
3 Add water gradually
Use a clean plastic or rubber container. Add water slowly until the
mixture reaches a cement-mortar consistency. Approximately 0.28 litres
of water is required for each kilogram of MAXPLUG, depending on
conditions.
4 Apply immediately
Apply using a trowel, spatula or gloved hand. Do not pour the material
into the opening. For cracks under high pressure, work in small
sections rather than attempting to plug the entire crack at once.
Important:
MAXPLUG sets rapidly. Prepare only the amount that can be applied before
it begins to harden.
Temperature and curing
At approximately 18–20°C, normal setting time is three to five minutes.
In warm conditions, use cold water to delay setting. In extreme heat,
keep the product in the shade and use ice in the mixing water.
Tools and cleaning
Clean tools immediately with water after use. Once the material has
hardened, it can generally only be removed mechanically.
Important installation guidance
Leaks in cracks or joints
Prepare the crack to a depth of approximately 50 mm and remove loose
concrete. Apply MAXPLUG in small amounts by hand. Wait until the
material becomes warm, apply it firmly, remove excess material
immediately and continue along the crack.
Concrete slabs and walls
For floor-to-wall junctions, create an opening of at least 20 × 30 mm
and form a waterproof cove using MAXPLUG.
Expansion joints
MAXPLUG becomes rigid when set and is not the ideal final material for
joints subject to continuous movement. It may be used to stop water,
after which the joint should be recreated with a suitable flexible
joint sealant.
Anchoring
MAXPLUG can be used to anchor bolts and metal fixtures into concrete
where rapid setting is required.

MAXPLUG FAQs - Stopping Active Leaks
MAXPLUG FAQs – Stopping Active Leaks
1. Can Drizoro MAXPLUG stop an active water leak under pressure?
Yes. MAXPLUG is a rapid-setting water stop mortar that stops active leaks in 60-90 seconds, even under hydrostatic pressure. It is designed for negative side waterproofing where water is actively running through concrete, concrete block, or masonry.
2. How do you mix and apply MAXPLUG?
Mix 1kg of MAXPLUG with 0.22 litres of clean water (approx 3 parts powder to 1 part water). Mix by hand for 30 seconds only. Wear gloves — it heats up (exothermic reaction). Form a plug and press firmly into the leak and hold for 90 seconds. Do not smooth. Use mixed material within 1 minute.
3. What is the coverage of MAXPLUG?
1.5kg of MAXPLUG fills approximately 1 litre of void. A 1kg tin will stop 1 small leak. A 5kg tin will stop 3-4 typical leaks. For larger honeycombs or voids, open to 20mm x 20mm before plugging.
4. Do I need to coat over MAXPLUG after stopping the leak?
Yes, for permanent waterproofing. MAXPLUG is a temporary water stop. Within 24 hours, coat over it with 2 coats of Drizoro MAXSEAL FLEX M or MAXSEAL FOUNDATION. For flexing cracks, use MAXJOINT ELASTIC after MAXPLUG.
5. Can MAXPLUG be used in potable water tanks?
Use MAXPLUG to stop the active leak, then overcoat with MAXSEAL FLEX or MAXSEAL FOUNDATION which are AS4020 approved for potable water contact. MAXPLUG on its own is not the final potable coating.
6. What is the difference between MAXPLUG and MAXREST?
Use MAXPLUG when water is actively running or leaking. Use MAXREST when the surface is damp but not running, for structural concrete repairs and concrete cancer (spalling) repairs. Both are part of the Drizoro system.
7. How long does MAXPLUG last and how should I store it?
Unopened, 12 months in dry conditions. Once mixed, sets in 60-90 seconds. Once applied and overcoated with MAXSEAL, it becomes part of the permanent Drizoro waterproofing system with a 10-year material warranty when applied as per data sheet.
